RESEARCHER PRIVACY

While ORCID Records hold only non-sensitive information such as name, email, organization, and research activities, researchers have options to control their profile, manage their data privacy, and limit how their data is shared.

Los Alamos National Laboratory’s website may link to other third party websites. We link to other websites solely for your convenience. When you follow a link to an external site, you are leaving lanl.gov and are subject to the external site’s privacy and security policies. These third party websites do not necessarily operate under the same laws, regulations, and policies applicable to Los Alamos National Laboratory websites. Users of third-party websites often share information with the general public, user community, and/or the third-party operating the third-party website. Operators of third-party websites may use this information in a variety of ways. Consequently, users should review the privacy policies of the third-party website before using it and ensure that they understand how this information may be used. Los Alamos National Laboratory or Los Alamos National Security are not responsible for the contents or security of external web pages and a link to another website does not constitute an endorsement.
